Stainless? Bill Sullivan"Bill, stainless will fatigue and crack like any
other metal. To reduce the chances, keep the vibration to a minimum, keep
the exposed metal past the anchor point as short and light as possible, in
order to make both rules happen, add another brace. In two directions
(triangulate) if possible, safety wire works to keep small problems from
going through the prop and becoming big ones. add vibration isolaters.When

My experience with two strokes and hard mounted accessories is it is
just a matter of time before a stress crack appears. Unfortunately,
everything that falls off the engine on a Kolb goes through the prop.
Important to do a thorough preflight each day, and continue to check the
engine after landing.
I've lost muffler mounts, a football size oil tank for a 582, strobe
light, lots of exhaust systems to vibration. Had lots of problems with
vibration and early exhaust systems on the 912. Stainless with
definitely let you down. Keep an eye on it.
Beautiful flying weather at hauck's holler, but Miss P'fer needs some
TLC before she will fly again.

Interesting talk about muffler brackets. This is what happened to me yesterday
on a short flight to Amery airport. I was already in my seat when the the guy
I was chatting with asked what was wrong with my muffler. It was kind of angled
a bit funny.He then helped me wire it together so it wouldn't fall off and scratch
up my prop..

Funny how often that happens. Somebody discussing things that have just happened
to somebody in a group, and not knowing about it.
